THE CATHARS

Catharism first emerged in Europe in the Xth century, and slowly spread throughout the Languedoc region at the end of the XIth century. Based on the fundamental principle of good and evil, spirit and matter, the Cathars wanted to release man from his carnal self and render him his divine purity. In the XIIth and XIIIth centuries, the Cathar religion gained considerable social and political weight, to such an extent that after initial peaceful negotiations failed, Rome called for a crusade.

We found a beautiful area full of hiking and nature totally preserved from any pollution. The Two Castles House gave us the feeling of living in the landscape. Its comfort and design were perfect for our relaxation. The children enjoyed the movies in 3D. We will return in summer to enjoy the pool.
